Update on exercise and work placement

Absolutely loving my new gym, it's amazing. It has really given me a reason to go exercise again. 

The only sucky thing is you can't rely on the scales as it is weights training, and while you are probably losing weight, you are also putting on muscle too, so I really need to take measurements to make sure that I am losing. 

My eating hasn't been that great, but I think it mostly because I have put M in charge of making dinner, while I have been doing work placement, and to be honest M isn't the best cook in the world. 

I am going to try and make some freezer meals this weekend so that we can eat a bit healthier this next week. 

Also speaking of work placement, it has been awesome. I have finally found my people, I haven't never fitted in so quickly with any work place before in my life. I am enjoying it so much that I have to keep reminding myself that I need to put some time into my assignments. Tomorrow will be the end of my second week, I really can't believe how quick has gone. 

New challenges

I know I haven't kept this blog updated, but I am coming up to some new challenges and I feel I need to document the journey as I go through it.

On Monday, not only do I start work placement for my diploma, but I start at a new gym as well. 

It is going to be pretty full on both accounts, but I am so looking forward. 

Watch this space! 

Failed!

So you know that big motivational post I did before Christmas, you know the one where I said I would exercise my heart out and drop below 80kg. 

Well I failed...big time. 

I managed to put on 500g, and now I'm back up to 83kg. Plus it does help that my period has arrived today, so I'm absolutely exhausted as my iron is already low (my haematologist stated I only had enough iron to last me to Easter). 

Motivation has completely left me, and I am struggling to get myself off the couch. I am trying to keep my diet healthy, which has also been hard. 

I always struggle to exercise on my period, because of lack of energy, cramps, and blood loss. I know that should be no excuse, but working 4 days a week, being a mum of two and studying, I don't think I would have the energy to do everything. 

I know I full of excuses.
